Excerpt from Politics of Protest: A Report
The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence has a grave task. If violence continues at its present pace, we may well witness the end of the grand experiment of democracy. The unheeded report of the-kemer Commis sion pinpointed the _cause of our urban violence, and this Report presents the tragic consequences when those in power fail to act on behalf of the weak as well as the powerful. The Director and staff of this Task Force will have served the country well if this Report furnishes the Commissioners with that information needed for them to demand that the country institute solutions and not merely further studies.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between protest and violence in the United States. The author examines this relationship through the lens of history, analyzing the recurring patterns of violent political movements throughout the nation's past. From the struggles of Native Americans to the uprisings of Appalachian farmers, the book highlights how various groups have resorted to violence in pursuit of their social, political, and economic goals. The author challenges the prevailing myth of peaceful progress, which often assumes that American society has successfully managed to resolve conflict without resorting to violence. By meticulously examining the historical record, the book reveals that violence has been a more common thread in American history than is generally acknowledged. This powerful examination of the complex interplay between protest, power, and violence offers a nuanced and insightful understanding of the historical forces that continue to shape American society today. The book's exploration of this recurring pattern in American history ultimately provides a valuable framework for understanding the ongoing struggle for equality and justice within the United States.
